This is the first and only theatre show in the world to use full contact fight scenes, and the only wrestling show ever to do a run at the world’s biggest arts festival: Edinburgh Fringe.

I wrote it to weave together my favourite myths into a brand new version of the creation and destruction of the ancient Norse cosmos, and introduce the world to the abilities and talents of professional wrestlers – outside of the context of wrestling.

The show is a high-impact dark comedy in which half-brothers Odin and Loki must overcome primordial giants, rival Gods and Goddesses, and their own ambitions – in their quest to seize power over the Nine Worlds.

It runs out of the Cockpit Theatre in London.

“Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have a great thrust upon ’em.”

Sex and the Titties: The Sexy Adventures of Stann Boothe is the worst piece of erotica ever written.

My best-selling book is smut. Or rather, it’s trying to be smut; it never quite gets there and instead is hailed by many as the most ‘unintentionally funny’ piece of literature ever written.

The true identity of Mann Smoothe may never be known.

This adventure diary documents the baffling experiences of mythical adventurer, Alexander McCuba, as he explores a curious land upon which he has become marooned.

The log book has been printed exactly as it was found, complete with all McCuba’s scribbles, sketches and stains, plus a hundred pages of glorious vibrant illustrations that immerse us in his technicolour adventure.

Some pages are detailed descriptions of the new world around him; others are manic scrawls across the pages – the rantings of a man losing his mind.

For too long, I have been the front man of The Bum: the UK’s silliest band. We’ve played over 500 gigs everywhere from pubs and front rooms to festivals and places we really didn’t deserve to be.
